If you have one of the recalled DePuy ASR hip implants, you should get a blood test as soon as possible, even if you don't have any symptoms. The reason is that the metal-on-metal hip cup may be creating metal debris in your joint. Even if you don't feel any pain or other symptoms, it's a good idea to get tested now to find out if there are high levels of metal in your body.
